When the game was over the ?ser accepted the result without disission. Not long afterward a worklan was stabbed fatally as he was j jming out of a dance hall. The man ho had stabbed him quickly disapeared, and the workman was placed i a cab and driven to an address 'hich he had given. This was iu a jrtain street where a sister of his as living. The man was barely able > get out of the cab and to explain lat he had been stabbed. His case ras so serious that he was conveyed > a hospital and died a few hours Lter. The police then made an inquiry nd learned how the murder was delib. ately* decided upon and savagely secuted.

The only real blot on my visit to lasgow, says a writer in the London ketch, is my total inability to speak 1th a Scottish accent I. rather pride lyself, as most people do, on my vocal nitative faculties, but I confess to !l the world here and now that 1 canot imitate the Scottish accent. My rish is beautiful; it would make all >ublin weep. My American is quite ood; I could nearly alwajs get anyling that I wanted in the shops if 1 ad the money. Anybody can talk relsh who cares to substitute "p" for b'\and "f for "va." But the Scotsh accent eludes me.

She Was Persistent. A huge package once reached Sir Walter Scott from a young lady Id merica for which he had to pay $25 stpressage. It contained a manuscript lay and a letter from the fair author jquesting Scott to read and correct er work, write a prologue and an pilogue. arrange for its production at rury Lane and negotiate with a pubsher for the copyright. That was bad lough, but worse was to follow. About fortnight later arrived another mighty icket, charged with a similar postage, cott, who bad not grown wiser by sperience, paid the charges and pened the parcel. Out came a dupliate copy of the play and a second itter from the authoress, stating that j s the weather had been stormy and I be feared something might have hapened to her former manuscript she ad thought it prudent to send him a uplicate.

A few of the Lexington County teachers met in Lexington last Saturday and discussed the formation of a County Teachers' Association. The need of some such organization is evident to all live, thinking teachers, and these gentlemen hope to be able to form such an association. The men present were: Superintendent A. D. Martin, Supt. W. E. Black, of Lexington; Pres. L. M. Eauknight and Prof. F. E. Broyles, of Leesyille College, and Supt. Baldwin, of Batesburg. Mr. Martin was made chairman of the meeting, and Mr. Broyles was elected secretary, these men to serve until some permanent organization can be formed. It was decided to call a meeting of the teachers of the county at Lexington on Noyember 18, at 11 a. m. The meeting will be held in the schoolbuilding. Every teacher in the county is urged to attend this meeting. It will show that you desire to keep in tcuch with others, and it will benefit you to hear ideas and plans of ' other teachers. Do not allow any- 1 thing to interfere with your coming. An attrictive programme for the first , meeting has been planned, as follows: Meeting called to order at 11 o'clock. Devotional exercises conducted by one of the Lexington ministers. Song by the entire body present. Some familiar song will be chosen. Appointment of nomination committee. Formal address of the day by some . very prominent school man. Discussion on the purposes of the organization. Permanent organization, with report of nomination committee. Readings and 9ongs. Adjournment. The name of the invited speaker will be announced as soon a9 he is secured. Let all teachers in this county make an honest effort to come. The meeting will break up by 1 o'clock, which will give any who comes a distance time to reach home before darkness sets in. We owe it to our patrons and trustees, as well a9 to ourselves, to attend these meetings and come into contact with other teachers. You cannot help being inspired by the spirit of the discussions, and you are bound to get new and attractive ideas which will aid you in your work, and make it less tiresome.
